Happy new year! None of the above are correct answers.

It's 2024. Here are some predictions:

The grocery market will collapse after incoming President Winfrey (never doubt the power of write-in votes!) declares, "You get Ozempic! You get Ozempic!"
ChatGPT will be revealed as infinite monkeys with typewriters. Or maybe three kids in a trench coat?
Climate change will definitely NOT be exacerbated by fossil fuels. (This message brought to you by Sultan al-Jaber.)
You're going to write "2023" on your checks for months. LOL! What's a check?
If you pay attention, you'll get at least one 11/11 on the quiz.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
